About to pull the trigger on one of these for a low budget upgrade (coupled w/ an ASRock 939-Dual-VSTA) :

Just wondering if anyone has an opinion as to whether the Opty is worth the extra $17 (also Newegg vs. ZZf factor, haven't purchased from ZZF before...). My understanding is that it's the same core, but the Opteron is on "better" silicon. I'd love to hit 3Ghz or so (probably unrealistic), and was just wondering if I'd have a better chance with the 148.
Thanks.
